Congratulations on completing this beautiful model Alexander.  I missed the beginning of this build log, so over the past couple of days I have read it in its entirety.  Like your wonderful La Jacinthe - it is the work of a master modeler and a museum piece.  Thank you for showing the details of how you built it.  Your work is inspirational.

In conclusion, my dear friends, I would like to show you the showcase in which "SPERWER" will be stored.

I ordered it from Sergei Fedorenko, who has made it in the best possible way, everything is according to the drawing and the quality is excellent.

As agreed, he sent it to me  in disassembled boards. I assembled it in place.

The showcase was made from 3 parts. The base was made from DSP, the hull, the supporting fixture and the removable cover. The base is covered with green cloth.

LED lighting on adhesive tape. Wiring is in one of the racks and under the batten of the cover.

 My best regards Alexander.

Very nice presentation and glass-case !

 

Me personally, I dislike, however, the cold-white LEDs, they give everything a 'clinical' or 'industrial' aspect. I prefer warm-white LEDs at 3600K, more compatible with a comfortable living environment.

Lovely case alexander. I may use the design for my own case if you don't mind.

Alexander, congratulations on the completion of an excellent work! Special thanks to you for interesting reports about the construction of the model.
   The case for the model is very harmonious and thought out, there is nothing superfluous, an excellent solution.

I am envious of the work you have done on this little SPERWER. The display case will surely protect your work for many generations to come. I like the use of LED's which allow viewers to see all of the tiny details. Kudos to you and thanks for sharing the build with us.

Dear Alexander,

 

Congratulations, you built a truly fantastic model! We actually own a sister-vessel of the Sperwer from the same Frisian ship-builder, called Maartje. A few of the pictures in this bog (the ones in the boat-house) are actually from our boat.

Should you ever consider finding a new home for the model...... Please let me know

 

All the best, Arjen

I'm sorry I missed this model until now. How wonderful. I love the techniques you use with the simplest of tools. Your work is a real inspiration to me for my next build.
